Tiny lump on my breast...

I have had a spot with tiny spider veins on it on my breast for a while now. The Gyno check my breast last visit and said nothing of it. Well later I found a very small lump just under the skin. It is the size of a dried lentil. Hard but not attached... I am not worried about it being cancer since it is under the skin and not attached. I can roll it between my fingers...

I guess my question is... am I wrong to not be concerned? What would you do? It is a $50 co-pay for the Gyno and everything I have read on breast cancer says this is not it...

btw- I am 32 with no family history for cancer. Though my mother gets cyst on her breast form time to time.

When I was bf for nearly a year few quarter-size bumps showed up on my calf. I was told I had benign tumor, but I did not believe it. I did research on-line on what they diagnosed me with, learned that Motrin can help, took it for a week and my calf was with no inflammation or any mark. It all happened 3 yrs ago, and I am clear of any signs. I would suggest checking on-line for publications on looking similar to your changes, and learning from them too. I insisted on biopsy but just cancelled my appointment after I treated myself. Good luck
